Application filed March 30, 1525/ Serial No. 19356.

My inventifil relates to new and useful improvements in baggage and express cars and morewpartioniarly to the means for'proinstall theiventilators on the opposite sides of the car so that a draft may be created along thebottom ofthe car. as Well as peri viding a maximum ventilation for the same.

6 A goodly number of the express and baggage, cars are provided ith, doors only,' no windows being formed in the sidesof the cars, and, when these doors are closed, the cars beeonoe ery stnfiy-- andv poorly en- 19 tilated t i V Thesebag eg a QXP QSTGM$ re known as ipa sengeseequipmen are: alway p sides wi h we: .13 momma le ti a ters,

1 plate at the openin their closed position, and

wise constructed and rigidly held by a bolt 17, this bolt passing through the upright 18 which is similarly grooved as at 19, the bolt then passing through the upturned edge 23 of the base 12 and the side frame 20.

Other bolts 21 are passed through the side frames of the ventilators through the up rights as may be clearly seen in Fig. 2 so that the ventilator is rigidly supported in position and clamped orbolted to the uprights,- thus tightly securing the ventilator against any lateral movement in its open- As may be seen in Figs. 3'and i, the

base 12' is designed to rest on the beam 22 and has the downwardly extending lip 22 so that any rain or water will drip on the outside of the car rather than sock or impregnate the beam 21.

Secured-to the'bottom of the car is shown the Z-bar 24 which is riveted to the angle 25, the latter being located behind the metal side 2 of the car. A portion of the side for the reception of the ventilator extents the lip 22 tilator. The top plate '27 of the ventilator frame fits within a cut-out portion 28 in the cross'beam 29 andachannel 30 is located between this beam and a further beam 31, and likewise aportion 32 of the side 2 is secured to this channel and overlies the outeredge of the top plate of the ventilator as at 33'to shed the rain. 7 g The ventilator in question is substantially the same in principle to that shown in my Patent- No. and comprises the side plates heretofore mentioned, the top and bottom plates of the frame, and a plurality of shutters 34 which are pivotally mounted in bearings 35 on the side frame, these shutters being operated by the handle 36 connected there WltlL In Fig. 8 the shutters are shown in stood that a downward movement of the handle 36 will cause the shutters to partly revolve and thus open the ventilator.

These ventilators may beset or'locked in an open position-and iii-combination with the roof ventilators will provide a thoroug'h ventllatioirfor the interior of the car.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have so arranged 'a plu'rality'of ventila I claim as new and upwardly and under formed on the base of the vein 1,040,084 of October. 1, 1912,.

it will be 'undertors in passenger equipment cars, that they Xvill provide an eflicient means of circulation together with the ventilators Which are usually placed in the roof of the car, and even though the doors be closed, the car will be kept cool or at least fresh air ,Wlll continue to circulate throughout the car.

Cars so equipped are now in use on one of the southern roads and have proved eX- ception ally cool and. well. ventilated.

Furthermore, the ventilators are rigidly secured in position and the installation is one which is relatively simple.

Having thus described my invention what desire to secure by Letters Patentis:-

1. In combination with a steel side car having ventilators arranged along its roof, a plurality of ventilators fitting Within openings in the steel sides of the car, and the uprights adjacent the openings for the ventilators being cut out for the reception of the said ventilators.

2. In an express car having ventilators arranged along the top thereof, metal sides for the said car provided with openings ar ranged at points slightly above the side sills, the said ventilators having a base overlapping the side plates of the car, a portion of r the wooden frame of the car being cut out for the reception of the ventilators, and means passing through a portion of the Wooden frame for securely holding the ventilators in positionfi V 3. The combination of a car having a hp' rality'of ventilators along its roof, a plurality of movable type ventilators arranged along the sides of the car and just above the bottom surface of the floor of the car, wooden and metal supporting means adjacentthe said ventilators, and means passing through the Wooden and metal means for securely fastening the ventilators Within the sides of thecars.

I i A car of the passenger equipment type, having" a plurality of ventilating means along its top surface, a plurality of ventilators having pivotal shutters disposed along the sides of the car and slightly above the floor of the "can-the said ventilators fitting within openings formed in the side plates of the car, the frame work of the car adjacentthe opening beingcut out for the reception of the ventilator, and channel members adjacent the uprights and means passing through the channel members and I the uprights for securing the ventilators in position.

5. A steel car of the passenger equipment type provided with ventilating means along the said steel sides of the car having openlngs cut' therein for the relts upper surface,

ception' of ventilators, the said ventilators supported on cross beams in the framework of the r read assured. a its airless? the 11P- right frames of the car, and the side plates of theoar fitting beneath the lower portion of the base of theventilator, and the side plate of the car extending beyond the outer edge of the ventilator at its top.

6. In combination, a'oar of the passenger equipment type comprising ventilators along .its roof of the monitor type, ventilators dis- 7 disposed Wooden supporting means adj aoent the said openings, and the said vventilators secured and supported by said metal frame work and the said woodenvmeans.

7, In combination with a steel ear of the e passenger equipment type, ventllators ar-' and located just above th car, a plurality of wooden supports for said ventilators, said- Wooden supports jbeing grooved for the reception of the frame'of ventilators soarranged that the lower portion of the frameof the ventilator overlaps I ,sides overlap the outer edge of ranged along its opposite sides' and disposed along the roof of the car, a plurality of ventilators arranged along the sides of the car bottom of the the said ventilators, the said ventilators exs tending through openings formed in the steel sides of the car, metal and Wooden su porting means for sand ventilatorsand 'e the steel side atthe openings While the steel the upper frames of the ventilators.
